Right now, Victor was doing his best to stifle his anger.
The chaos brought by Rachels sudden reappearance rendered him unable to think properly. But now that he had time to calm himself down, he was able to gather his composure.
It turned out that she was still alive, and she had been deceiving him for four years.
Seeing that she wasnt answering, he commanded, Give me an answer!
Rachel was acting so cold, and he noticed that she didnt seem Like she wanted to speak to him any longer. Upon realizing that, Victor felt as though he couldnt breathe. She was right in front of him, and in a normal situation, he could easily catch her.

No reason, Rachel replied nonchalantly.
She didnt want to tell him why she left four years ago. As a matter of fact, they knew full well that even if she didnt leave at the time, she wouldve left sooner or later.
The reason she didnt want to tell him was because she didnt want to get Quintin involved.
Moreover, she wasnt obligated to give him an explanation. Not once did she regret risking her life to escape this hellhole.
Rachel, you know that I hate lying the most. And youve lied to me for four long years, Victor remarked.
And like I said before, you cant lock me up, Rachel replied without hesitation.
Suddenly, the tension in the room rose. The heating inside the room was working, but it felt like a cold gust of wind pervaded in the air. Neither of them had any intention of backing down.

Rachel checked the time and found that it was almost ten in the evening. Soon, it would be lights out at the hospital and visiting hours would be over.
She had planned to come here to speak to Victor, but considering his physical condition, it didnt seem to be appropriate. When that crossed her mind, Rachel put her hands in the pockets of her coat and said, If you have nothing else to say, Im leaving.
Oh? Where would you even go? asked Victor.
Rachel stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at him. He was leaning against the headboard with a grim expression, and his eyes remained cold.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed that there were two men standing guard at the door.
Through the slightly opened door, Rachel noticed each of them had an obsidian brooch. It was the sigil of the Sullivan Groups security company.
Obviously, these men werent here to protect Victor.
Mr. Sullivan, are you going to use the same trick you used to lock me up four years ago? Rachel smirked, looking down to hide the expression on her face.
Move back, he said.
Rachel looked into his eyes with a calm expression.
Mr. Sullivan, have the gunshot and knife wounds rendered you a simpleton? I dont understand what youre trying to say. Move back? Move what back? Move to where?
